I don't mean to flame or anything but creativity, originality or what ever else we are graded on, (oh yeah, detail) all of that takes pieces so that you can use them. Even though you have said that this new grading scale helps keep people with less pieces in the game. I for one don't want to spend almost fifty or sixty dollars on lego. Yeah I love it, but I can't, I don't have the money being a kid! For example, I look at the models being made now and wonder how I can beat them with a very limited number of green, gray, blue, colored pieces, and a very limited number of minifigures (almost 8 now). I find this scale still giveing an unfair advantage to the "richer man", though I never knew the other scale of gradeing since I was never around at that time. (If you don't know what Im talking about just say so) again I don't mean to flame, I just want answers about this scale you use now.
While most people build for the prizes, few actually win. If you want to enter, build for the fun of building.
The three smallest castle sets have 123 or less elements. That is not a lot. Of course if you do not have many castle sets, it will be hard to make other castle creations. Hopefully fans without many castle pieces will be able to eventually buy copies of the latest sets or recieve them as presents. These sets have many good elements for castle mocs.
